I'm looking to get into sharpening freehand. I currently use an edgepro professional I got off of craigslist years ago and use a shapton pro 1k and 5k with it, as well as some coarse diamond plates with it for older abused knives. I think its been helpful in helping me understand whats going on when sharpening and easily forming burrs. I can get great edges on my knives but I'm ready to make the jump to freehand.
With JNS's sale their set of JNS 300, 800, red aoto, 6k comes down to a little over $200. Being that i'm not in a rush for stones, would this be a good "everything I need" set to get or should I just focus on better stones for their grits and accumulate over time?
